Alex Curtis Memorial Trust (ACT) promotes awareness and good management of asthma for young people.
We give talks directly to school students, staff and parents on asthma and how to minimise its impact on the lives and education of young people.
We provide material showing how to cope with an acute asthma attack and information about asthma.
We seek to influence industry, political and professional organisations about better management of acute asthma; and to authorise the use of generic reliever inhalers in schools.

The Mayor said, "It was an interesting and useful talk about what can be a debilitating condition. Peter gave practical tips on how to manage asthma and what to do if someone is suffering an attack."

School Campaign
If you are a teacher and or a parent of a child with asthma please help us to get our vital message into as many schools as possible. Although we are focusing on Hertfordshire, wherever you are we want to hear form you and we would love to come into your school and talk to pupils and staff about asthma and allergies and how to manage these conditions. We want to talk to all pupils to provide non-sufferers with some knowledge and understanding of asthma and allergies in order that they can support their peers with these conditions.Peak flow meters
